Frank Sinatra's Lamborghini Miura SV sold for $250k at a time when models sans Provenance were going for $115k...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

Frank Sinatra is one thing but....Dr. Phil!

Yeah, I've not quite figured out why that happens. Just because someone owned it doesn't mean it well... smells like them or looks like them or something. Hrmm.

Hi,

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

Remember when George Costanza bought that car (LaBaron??) on "Seinfeld"? From what's-his-name? Is that called Provenance too?

i supposed to be was Jon Voight car, however its end up with being John Voight car. Only one letter, but what a difference.
Jon Voight is an American actor born to a Czech father and an English American mother. You can see him in guest appearance on TV show Seinfeld in which he bites the character Kramer on the arm.

big Seinfeld fan, big... big...

If you have ever watched the good Dr's show, as they pan the audience you would see that his constituency is about 99% women. The other 1% either stumbled in by accident or more likely is the object of the issue being discussed on that day.
I hope Craig Jackson is finding a way to market those two cars to female buyers, because if not, he might not get a bid.

Talking

By definition, a product is worth what it sells for.

If Dr. Phil's car sells for say $240K, then that is what it is worth.

BTW-Oprah's audience is ALL women and she is worth like a gazillion dollars!

PS-I don't care for the broad but hey, that's show business!
